See BS at it again. All sides huh? Including the MILLIONS of law abiding gun owners who's guns sit in the safe all day doing nothing? Will they include the fact that the U.S. is #1 in guns per capita but #111 in intentional homicides? Or that since 1993 the firearm death numbers have dropped from 7/100k to around 3.6/100k? Despite the huge increase in firearm ownereship? Probably forget to mention that the bad guys don't give two, no, let's make that three, craps about their "gun safety" laws? So, andy, my sympathy for the loss of your daughter, but is doesn't give you the right to force your anger on to me.

Ten thousand gun laws already on the books. Not one is sensible?

“Sensible” would be repealing the Second Amendment.It surely wouldn’t be difficult.

Because putting defenseless citizens at the mercy of armed criminals is so “sensible.”

I do not care one iota how loud, how shrill, and how long the Left screams, I will never concede to them. Never!

Their end goal, as we all know, is confiscation. And after confiscation come subjugation. NEVER!

Scream all you want. Call me whatever you want. NEVER!

‘Sensible’?? There is that Democrat manipulation with weasel words again. The LIVs hear that and think ‘if I don't agree with them, I am obviously not sensible’. The Education system, overwhelmingly populated with hard core Leftists, has made sure that our general populace is remaining more and more ignorant. People educated with critical thinking skills can see through the rhetoric from miles away. Unfortunately, our children are being taught what to think, not how to break down the rhetoric and find the truth.

We should respond with the same argument that liberals always use whenever anyone disagrees with Obamacare, abortion, or gay marriage: “Gun ownership is legal in this country. The courts have ruled on this and upheld the 2nd amendment over and over again. It’s settled law. Get over it.”

The most sensible thing to do would be to ban liberals from having access to guns.

They really, really, REALLY want to start a civil war. Don’t these people understand that media and politicians are targets in a 4th Generation War? Don’t they understand that MILLIONS will die? Don’t they realize it is WE who have the guns, and that WE will be peaceable right up until they try to disarm us, at which point, it’s ON?!

I never watch TV news, but for some reason it was on, and they started the intro to this bit, and before they even got past the intro it was obvious they were going to use this as a propoganda piece to attempt to influence folks for gun control.... Switched the channel... How anyone can watch what they pass off as “news” and not realize it for the tripe it is beyond me.

****“Virginia’s going to be the model for 2016 for the rest of the country,****

Remember thirty years ago when Handgun Control Inc said the same thing about Florida? Didn’t work out.

Remember 1982 when Handgun Control Inc was trying to get Prop 15 passed in California to ban handguns? A sure win! Voters rejected it.

And then there is THIS LIE we have been fighting since 1962.

“the first thing I would do would be to impress upon the people that are pro-gun that we’re not trying the take their guns away”

Oh yes your are.

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.

Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.

So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.

My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the POSSESSION of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL”.

-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview

HCI, around 1984, came out in favor of a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns.

Les see, almost 40 post and so far not a word about the common denominator in virtually ALL of the shootings- MEDS that carry side effect warnings of Suicide and even Homicidal tendencies. Not a word.

It’s ALWAYS the GUN that did it.
